How do you pronounce sandwich?

I had no idea I did this until a colleague gently mocked me for it.

I listened to some others and they do it too.

I - apparently - say sangwich. Brought up on the west coast of Scotland, if that explains it.

It's sandwich. I'm Scottish and the only people I have known to say sangwich are children who don't know how it's spelt and have never been corrected because it's 'cute'. Apparently.

Well in austalia a sandwich is a 'sanger' so maybe theres an connection with how they pronounce it. Like mom, etc being exported to america.

But me normally normal sand-widge

Thank goodness others say samwidge too, just asked DP and he said I'm odd for saying m instead of n. He says saNwidge.
